+Dorje ༀ་ཨཱཿ་ཧཱུྃ no greater demon then the demon of self grasping . Buddha looked and saw no self. So what is the Self that we think we percieve is my question ? it does feel like a self exists so I'm trying to get a better understanding of what it is we call a self.
Saying there is some sort of true, real, permanent self is eternalism. Saying there is no self is nihilism or annihilationism. Both are extreme views. The Buddhist view is beyond all extremes. This doesn't mean it's somewhere in the "middle", but specifically "beyond the 4 extremes"; these being: "existence", "non-existence", "both existence and non-existence" & "neither existence nor non-existence". Furthermore, from another point of view, the self does exist on the relative level. We can see, touch, hear, eat, talk, walk, shit, feel. We can't deny this. This is how we function in the world. But, on an absolute level, the nature of self is emptiness, which I think is what you are referring to, or trying to get at. But the relative and absolute are indivisible. Relative reality is an expression of Absolute reality. This may or may not be easy to understand on an intellectual level, but even if it is, actually realizing it beyond any sort of concept is the key, and requires meditation. And because at our current stage, anything we perceive is simply a projection of our own mind (i.e. all we actually experience is our own concept of reality), meditation quite literally can be defined as "becoming familiar with ourselves (or our mind.)". You say you are "trying to get a better understanding of what it is we call a self", so what better way to do this than to actually and simply observe and become familiar with this "self"? Without self-grasping of course, but instead just letting be. This is my limited, conceptual understanding. It seems to me you are on the right track.
